Helmetless in Philly
I’m visiting Philadelphia and am shocked at the number of cyclists commuting without wearing helmets in center city. Is this a Philly or east coast thing?

Riding without a helmet can save lives.

Normalize not wearing a helmet. I'm here for it.

After two crashes . . .
. . . one with a broken neck and the other with a brain bleed where my helmet absolutely, positively 100% saved my life, I don't understand it. But it's no use preaching to folks about it. Sooner or later they will learn from experience–or not.
